The Bachelor of Social Science in Criminology (BSocScCrim) is offered through the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. It is a joint venture between the School of Social Sciences and International Studies - the administrative centre of the degree - and the Faculty of Law. The degree was established in 2000 and had its first intake in 2001. The BSocScCrim is an ideal preparation for a career in policy and planning, social research, project design and management in relation to crime and criminal justice.

Since 2007, a new double degree in Social Science(Crim) and Law is being offered. This combined degree program provides students with an opportunity to obtain two degrees of professional importance to the public sector, criminal justice, community services, business and law practice.

Criminology is taught at the School of Social Sciences and International Studies as a collaborative initiative between the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and the Faculty of Law. Teaching staff are drawn from many disciplines from inside and outside the School of Social Sciences and International Studies.
